I guess, in the end, I was a little disappointed that it didn't follow the book a bit more. The movie was a great recruiting flick, with nonstop action, etc., but as far as creating the same emotional investment with the story and character development that the book did, I guess it just fell short for me. I'll admit at the end of the book, even I got a bit choked up. At the end of the movie, it just seemed like a progression of the story line.
